Well, it probably helped that at the time, I had 3 cats, that all sort of resembled the cats in the movie, and a dog. Of course, seeing a Pembroke Welsh Corgi on screen is kind an oddity as well (though he has all of about 5 seconds screen time.)

Yup. All because Garfield has a sequel. But then again, Garfield: SE was released in Australia even before talks of sequel. So Australia is one of the first to get a SE Garfield. I hope the sequel's good.

You are talking two very different things here though. The only reason Garfield is getting a SE is to promote the sequel. There is no sequel to Flight of the Phoenix.

You're right, Garfield was garbage, but it still made Fox a bunch of money whereas Phoenix didn't and there's no built-in, niche market for it like there is with movies like Garfield and Elektra. Besides that, as someone already stated it got a fairly decent release the first time and one that was a lot better than far more worthy films have gotten.

Not to mention the original release had a commentary, deleted scenes, and a making of. I don't know how much more extra material one could expect of a movie that only made half of it's estimated cost of $45 million at the US box office.

Judging from the NO REPLIES here, I guess I'm not the only one who did not care for this movie. And you can't compare a comic book adaptation with an action/ adventure movie! They are two very different movies altogether. And I prefer Elektra, but only because Jennifer Garner's in it.

With FOX re-releasing everything from A to C**p, why has there been no news on any kind of release for 2005's Flight of the Phoenix?! It was a better movie than Elektra and that got a Special Editon!! WTF!?
